BRIEF: Chris Coghlan scratched from Cubs' lineup

April 01--MESA, Ariz. -- Manager Joe Maddon said last week he believed that Chris Coghlan was emerging as a strong No. 2 hitter in the Chicago Cubs' batting order.

But Coghlan was scratched from the Cubs' lineup Wednesday against Milwaukee because of a stiff neck.

Jorge Soler, whom Maddon said would be an out-of-the-box choice, moves in the second spot.

Here's the Cubs' lineup:

Fowler CF

Soler RF

Rizzo 1B

Castro SS

Montero C

Szczur LF

Alcantara 3B

Hammel P

La Stella 2B
